Pride of Newton. This is a robust 

 strong growing bean with long flat pods, 

 which are light g een. It is quite early 

 and productive. The beau is similar to the 

 Yellow Six Weeks in color, but much 

 hardier. 



Barly Mohawk Six Weeks. A 

 long podded v iriety, and very hardy. 

 It is used to a large extent for the market 

 for the first planting; very productive. 



Barly Yellow Six Weeks. This is 

 the most popular sort among market 

 gardeners. Pods flat and long; a very good 

 bearer, but not so good for shipping as the 

 Mohawk or Valentine. 



White Kidney. A good strong grow- 

 ing variety, not much planted. 



Red Kidney. A kind largely planted 

 for the New Orleans Market. It is a coarse 

 growing variety, and much used for shelling 

 when the the pods turn yellow, so that the 

 beans are well developed, but yet soft. 



Best of All. A variety from Germany 

 of great merit, intioduced by the late 

 Richard Frotseher. It is green podded, 

 long and succulent; very prolific and well 

 flavored. Excelleut for shipping and fam- 

 ily use. Although not quite so early as 

 the Mohawk, it is of superior quality for 

 ghipping, and therefore almost the only 

 kind planted here for that purpose. The 

 cut is a good representation as it grows; it 

 shows only two-thirds of its natural size. 

 Cannot be too highly recommended. 



Improved Valentine. This variety has 

 all the good qualities of the old Valentine; 

 only it is ten days earlier, a great consider- 

 ation when planted for the market; it hr.s 

 taken the place of the old variety of Val- 

 entine. 



Extra Barly Refugee. Is an im- 

 provement on the well-known old Refugee. 

 Very early and prolific. Owing to its good 

 qualities it has become a favorite with 

 market gardeners for shipping. Pods 

 round and fleshy. 



Best of All Beans, % natural size.
